my iMac crashed a couple of weeks ago while I was ugrading from CS3 to CS5.5. Basically lost the drive along with all software on the mac. I have the newly repaired iMac back now but can't find the original install CS3 discs, so I can't re-install. I have the original serial numbers however and the $1000 upgrade but no discs. Does anyone know if adobe will re-issue my original software so I can re-install and then use the upgrade? I registered the software when I first purchased it. Tried contacting adobe but was continually let to the forum

Hey Arpit, thanks for getting back. I have the serial keys for the original CS3 disks, but don't have those disks any more. But, I now have the CS5.5 upgrade disks I just purchased with the serial keys that came with that purchased upgrade. Do you think I can re-install straight from the upgrade disks using my original CS3 serial keys?

I just mentioned to Arpit that I have the serial keys for the original CS3 disks, but don't have those disks any more. But, I now have the CS5.5 upgrade disks I just purchased with the serial keys that came with that purchased upgrade. Do you think I can re-install straight from the upgrade disks using my original CS3 serial keys?
